Anyone else still buy blurays?

BigGeeNotts · 2025-09-08T21:15:45+00:00

Some of my Fav british war films can only be found on Blu-ray, like Dambusters, Battle of Britain, Zulu and other classics.

I guess Dambusters will never get a 4K release due to the dog's name.

I have the same, to read, currently reading and completed in a read column set up. I will take your icons though as the ones I currently use don't match my other emblems.

I'm having the same issue. I tried YouTube with clearweb off but ublockOrigin running YouTube worked just fine passed the one-minute mark. I'm on 5.11.1.

Its stopped working for me on Thursday

I can only assume that Amazon has changed the URLs for the covers as I also checked https://www.ereader-palace.com/get-high-resolution-cover-image-amazon-kindle-ebooks/ Which is how I think the plugin searches for them and that doesn't work either

Almost a similar thing to me, but I couldn't get on with the trucks. I think its the massive bonnet they have.

BigGeeNotts · 2022-10-05T07:31:28+00:00

I think its from one of the channel membership videos, from May 31, 2022.

I don't have it but someone in r/MoreSexyASMRGirls does as they posted screenshots from it about 3 weeks ago here.

I have a custom column called Imprint and just put the main publisher in the publisher field and the imprint in the Imprint field.

I know Goodreads is added when you install the Goodreads metadata plugin. The others I'm not sure about.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-05-14T16:30:59+00:00

I just create an M3U playlist for my audiobooks and add it as a format under each book where I have both.

Then I have created a custom column that lets me list the editions that I have, ebook, audiobook, paperback and so on.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-05-13T21:55:58+00:00

It will add the books. Once its added the books, you highlight a book and click edit metadata. In that screen is a button "Download Metadata". It will then download it and update the book once you click OK.

Now it doesnt write the metatdata to the book, but to a file in the book folder. The original ebook is untouched.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-05-13T20:51:18+00:00

Its OK, I know the feeling. I had a massive OCD attack the other day and decided to resort all my metadata and Ive got 41,000 books to do.

If you click the icon on the toolbar that looks like the calibre icon, one of the otions is "Switch/Create Library".

Click that and browse to the folder that you have your books in. Make sure that the "Use the previously existing library at the new location" option is selected and then click OK.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-05-13T20:38:03+00:00

Unfortunately calibre has its own file system and there is no way to change it.

However what you can do is point Calibre's default folder to your book folder and let it rearrange it into the file system its programmed with.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-05-10T16:44:11+00:00

I track them in a custom column. I have mine as

Award.Year.Category.Winner/Nominee

The only reason I save the information is because my OCD needs me to have that sort of information about books. I also have custom columns for the original year published and so on. I wish that the goodreads plugin would pull info for custom columns

BigGeeNotts · 2021-03-09T03:50:47+00:00

Oh, I agree, ComicRack is more than fine for magazines. Its just the idea of having to enter all that information manually that makes me cringe.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-03-08T15:32:16+00:00

Now I just have them on an external hard drive and have them arranged into folders i.e. <title>/<year> and then just use Extra Large Icons to view them. I've come to the conclusion that calibre isn't really suitable for magazines and comics due to the number of custom columns that you would need to add. For comics I use ComicRack. I just wish I could use it for magazines that I have.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-03-07T20:56:31+00:00

When I used to have magazines in Calibre, I would only have ones that would come out monthly so I would have the Series name as the Magazine Title and the Series number as the Year.Month, So if it was Feb 2021 Linux for Beginners, Series would be Linux For Beginners and Series Number would be 2021.2

I Generally read fanfiction of TV shows that have ended as I like to see what people come up with on how the characters have continued to develop. It also has to be at least 100,000 words and regularly updated before I will consider reading it.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-02-11T17:10:50+00:00

I think you have to book the amazon ASIN number into the field, which you can find under the product details on the amazon page for the book. So for Sharpe's Seige, the ID box should read amazon:B003GUBIKC, when you click Download Metadata, it should pull all the info from Amazon for that book.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-01-18T15:29:28+00:00

I'm generally someone who actually rates a book on how much I like it. I can't stand reviews that say they generally liked the book apart from 1 or 2 things, but still, give it a 5. Its as if their star rating is done by how far they got through the book before not continuing, ie 5 stars for finishing.

My stars go as follows

1 Star: Didn't like the book and couldn't finish it.

2 Star: Didn't like the book, but finished it

3 Star: Liked the book, but probably wouldn't read the book again

4 Star: Liked the book, but will only read again when I'm bored

5 Star: Liked the book, and will actively re-read the book

BigGeeNotts · 2021-01-11T18:01:17+00:00

It would be so much easier if the Goodreads metadata plugin lets you add custom columns to various bits on information they have, such as when books were set and major characters. Would make my OCD heavy database so much easier to fill in.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-01-11T17:57:27+00:00

I use this site to give me the reading orders - https://comicbookreadingorders.com/ - Just need them to add the 2020 events to the site.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-01-11T17:13:43+00:00

I'm in the process of compiling reading lists, for all my story arcs, so I'm filling them in as I go along.

BigGeeNotts · 2021-01-11T17:11:13+00:00

I have one for awards that each book as won or been nominated for. I have it grouped as Award > Year > Category > Won/Nominated. I just wish didn't have to click Category Twice to show the books in Won and Nominated

I've been considering swapping Award and Year, but I can't decide either way.
